KCTO (1160 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Cleveland, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by the Alpine Broadcasting Corporation.
KCTO broadcasts an English-language and Spanish-language Catholic radio format to the greater Kansas City metropolitan area.[1] Until March 2011, the station simulcast the talk radio programming of sister station KCXL (1140 AM).
The station was assigned the call sign "KCTO" by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on July 24, 2003.[2] In 2017, the station became the Spanish-language home of the Kansas City Chiefs, previously heard on KDTD 1340 AM. Chiefs games are produced through Tico Productions and also air on KHLT-FM in Wichita.[3] As of January 2020, KCTO has flipped from La Mega to Catholic Radio Maria, in Spanish and English. La Mega still comes on an hour before the Chiefs games and lasts until they're over, then it's back to Radio Maria.
